ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) Over the past month the BBC had a show about what makes a band. There were centric episodes about the guitarist, singer and drummer and over the course of the show people could get the opportunity to vote for their favourite performer. The finale was last night and these were the people who won.Best Band - Led ZeppelinThey beat, The Beatles and Queen.Best Singer - Freddy Mercury of QueenHe beat, Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin and Kurt Cobain of Nirvana.Best Guitarist - Jimi HendrixHe beat, Jimmy Page and SlashBest Bassist - Flea from the Red Hot Chili PeppersBest Drummer - John Bonham from Led ZeppelinHe beat, Dave Grohl and Keith Moon.After the results were announced there was a short video of what THE supergroup could have sounded like, having Freddie, Jimi, John and Flea together and it wasn't bad.http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/rocknrollband/Have a look there and see if you prefer the candidates who didn't get through to the final.

Tom1447 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I watched it last night rock1 I pretty much agree with the choices of the people who won.BTW people came through a big cardboard cutout of Axl They showed a live Led Zep show after as well.

Conor Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I've been watching the entire series, it's been pretty cool. There's a lot of little Guns segments as well, Duff and Matt did some interviews for it. It's cool that they consider Guns to be the last in the line of the great rock n' roll bands. I liked the massive Axl door Led Zeppelin very deserved winners though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyTron Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 How the fuck can Flea beat out Mark King for "Best Bassist"? Pfft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I've always felt like Flea is very overrated.Yeah, I also get the feeling most of the people who say Flea is the best bassist ever don't really know shit about playing bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 lol @ Kurt Cobain being nominated for best singer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 lol @ Kurt Cobain being nominated for best singerThat disappointed me the most although I was suprised that Flea was voted the best bassist. I originally thought Entwistle or John Paul Jones would have won. I also thought the Beatles could have won the best band but they didn't.I found the discussion about the guitarists' interesting. Who else thinks Slash is a hybrid of Jimi and Jimmy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDeeds Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 The band made up of all the winners would sound fucking terrible. And Keith Moon is the best drummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun n' Games Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 So Flea didn't have to beat anybody, because nobody cares about fucking bassists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
